7 Months...time is flying!

So here we are, another month gone by and our Shaun is 7 months old. Time is really flying. He is so different than David in so many ways that we sometimes feel like first time parents all over again.

He has been eating solid foods for about two months now, loving all the yummy flavors he gets to try. With David, I would have been happy if he ate 1/2 a jar of baby food - Shaun eats TWO jars!! We have begun to slowly introduce him to the stage 3 foods that have more textures to them to get him to learn about chewing. We have also started giving him the teething cookies, though not very often as they are SO messy.


He has a couple new milestones. He has recently started to try to wave hello. He can stand and balance himself up against a toy or the couch longer before falling on his bum. He blows raspberries and started saying Ba-ba-ba. However, the greatest milestone, at least for me, is that he officially sleeps through the night! His older brother David didn't do that until almost 9 months old! He does have some nights where he wakes up for a minute and we'll go in to help him locate his binky, but then he goes right back to sleep again.

Here are some pictures of our little man taken today:
